PPG crash

I was flying above my skill level as this was only my 6th take off. I flew too close to the ground and then turned downwind... This is a video to show how easy it is to crash. Anyone who says anything derogatory will be deleted. I know I messed up and why I messed up. This is just so people don't make the same mistakes I did. Fly within your skill level.

@jolicoq ... This motor is a fresh Breeze Simonini 122. It is a great motor, I havent had any problems with it and I have had it for over a year.

@13aguas that engine how does it compare to a radne raket 120?

@yamahonkawazuki To be honest with you, I have no idea... I have only flown Fresh Breeze. I am still an amature of the sport, so I dont know much about different motors. So, sorry I cant help ya on that one.

@13aguas ive read the reviews on your engine. and they seem as good if not better. i want to take up PPG soon. was looking into it. had been into ultralights before. but this seems as though it would be a bit more convenient. 2 ppl a small truck, i take off and meet truck elsewhere for pickup etc

@yamahonkawazuki That is exactly what I do. I have my wife drop me off and then I take off and scout for hunting and she drives to another location where I land. You can pretty much take off and land anywhere you want when you foot launch.  It is a blast, there is nothing like it.

Appreciate you showing the pitfalls of PPG. Still, it's a shitload of fun to fly...

@parkert51 .... ha ha... I know, but luckily this crash didnt cost me any money... Just ruined my perftect evening to fly.

@snoboarder2427 .... You are absolutly correct... I have since learned, and still continue to fly within my skill level... I have a lot more time in the air, so I am getting better. Not anywhere near a pro, but I just enjoy bein up in the air, away from the ground :)
